    Hello,
    The game doesn't run on my laptop. I just get a white window. The menus are working, I can get the prefs, but nothing in the main window, and the CPU goes to 100%
    Any hints ?

    Your laptop's video card probably doesn't provide hardware support for OpenGL.

    Hello,
    My video card is ATI mobility Radeon 7500 that supports OpenGL.
    I checked with "OpenGL Extension Viewer 2.19" and it confirms that I have 100% support up to OpenGL 1.3.
    Does DCsquare require features newer than that ?

    This kind of issue may be the reason so few of Windows users are reporting hiscores as was mentionned in a previous post ?

    Any ideas to solve my pb ?

    Thanks

    I had similar problems with my old Dell laptop, which had an ATI Mobility M3. Using the Microsoft drivers, the textures would load, but there was no acelleration so it ran very very slowly. Using the ATI drivers, there is acelleration so it could run fast, but all the textures were just white. For some reason, the ATI Mobility chipset doesn't like the way I'm loading the textures, which works for every other chipset.

    My only suggestions are to try the latest drivers from ATI's website, or to play on a different computer that doesn't use an ATI Mobility.
